You Don’t Need Another Marketing Hack — You Need a Marketing Engine
Why your startup’s growth is stalling (and what to do about it)
I talk to startup founders all the time who are drowning in a sea of half-baked tactics. Or, as you might call it… “throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.”
👉 One day it's “try this email automation.”
👉 The next it’s “just post more on LinkedIn.”
👉 Or worse: “We hired a junior marketer to ‘do content.’”
The result? A Franken-marketing machine with no strategy, no focus, and no results.
Here’s the truth most growth-hungry startups don’t want to hear: You don’t need more tactics. You need a system. And until you make that change, your marketing isn’t going to keep sucking.
Let me break it down…
Growth doesn’t come from randomly firing off blog posts, ads, and cold emails.
It comes from understanding:
✔️ Who you’re selling to (deeply — this is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING)
✔️ Why they should care
✔️ Where they hang out
✔️ How they buy
✔️ What makes them say hell yes
Then, and only then, do your tactics actually start to work. That’s called a go-to-market strategy, and if your startup doesn’t have one, you’re not ready to grow.
The uncomfortable part
Most early-stage startups skip this. They burn money on agency retainers, hire marketers who’ve never built strategy, or throw cash at ads that lead nowhere. And then they wonder why “marketing doesn’t work.”
But when you finally build a marketing engine—a real one that’s designed around your unique offer, buyer, and positioning — you stop wasting time. You start pulling in leads. You create momentum.
The kind that doesn’t die the second you stop posting.
So… what’s next?
If you're a founder staring at stalled growth and piecemeal marketing… I help startups like yours build a go-to-market foundation that actually converts—without the agency bloat who just don’t get it, and without waiting 6 months for results.
This is fractional CMO meets growth coach (and someone who’s been in the trenches before, too). Strategy and clarity. No bullshit.
